Floods move on

10 Mar, 2010 10:00 AM
Queensland's massive floodwaters are set to make waves in NSW this week. With 80 per cent of Queensland natural disaster-declared, northern NSW towns are expected to face major flooding - some exceeding records set two decades ago.

The Bureau of Meteorology said record flood levels are likely along the Paroo River at Willara Crossing and further downstream from tomorrow. Flood levels at Wanaaring are expected to exceed the April 1990 flood late on Sunday.

Floodwaters are heading south from Dirranbandi, with levels in the Culgoa, Bokhara, Birrie and Narran river systems expected to exceed 1990 levels over the next seven days.
